A large liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier Grace Emilia ran aground in Egypt’s Suez Canal on Wednesday.
Local media reports the shipping traffic is unaffected as the incident took place in a southern section of the canal where a second channel allows for ships to bypass the blockage.
AIS data from Vesselfinder (below) showed four tugboats working to move the 293-m-long vessel.
Equasis lists the 2021-built 174,000 cu m ship, which entered the canal early Wednesday morning, as owned by Japan’s NYK.
The latest incident comes just three weeks after the bulker Glory bound for China carrying 66,000 mt of corn from Ukraine had to be refloated after running aground.

The container ship _Ever Given_ grounded in the canal waaay back in 2021.
I hope it doesn’t become a thing!

How hard is it to keep a ship afloat in a canal? I’m not aware of any hairpin turns in those things.

There are two types of mariners.
Those who have run aground.
And those who are going to.

Maybe they are trying to become "land guys."

Its more complicated that you think — fluid dynamics, wind effects, and such. You can find plenty of youtube videos discussing the evergreen/grande case.

That’s the interesting part of the story. The US can’t even get 66,000 metric tons of corn for our $100B “investment” to Ukraine?

He’s trying to save the earth by putting the natural gas back into the ground.
